There was a raven standing outside my bedroom door it was not the famous raven whom quoted nevermore

He started to build her a castle but the wench became such a hassle he sold the home and left his feet roam without worry or care thereafter~

Lost in the light of eternal eyes fighting inside the demons of lies out of the darkness the unborn cries pleading for life on the outside

DARKNESS FALLS

When darkness falls
The stars do call
From high up in the midnight sky
Through the thickness of window panes
They beg please let us in


Out between the curtains does slide
The slightest of figures upon the sky


Faint black wings
breathe upon the air again
as the wind does give it flight


Beyond the moon to start anew
Against the back of time


For when the sun rises
It is flesh again
Until the stars call nigh

RAVENS SONG

A raven danced upon my window sill last night

laughing quietly
feathers shimmered against the halo of moonlight
as his eyes stole mine
a great shift occurred in the ripple of time


A great white wolf smiled beneath its hazel eyes
bared teeth luminescent in the night
above the raven took to flight


The tattered soul soared
as the mighty paws fell
A story it was they had to tell
Frantic honey colored doe sprung from sleep
heart pumping copper
the smell so sweet


A flicker of movement brought the great wolf to halt
Eyes sprung wide as its prey was caught
the lioness sprung 
 the great doe fell
teeth gnashing with force
as it ripped free her entrails

Above in the sky the raven wept
as the wolf quietly waited
for what meat would be left

The circle above danced with the circle below
life in its constant ebb and flow
through my eyes the great bird sang


In the light sing this song
as the grass quietly grows
from deep within the earth
life’s blood flows

the power to be
is the power to see
time is a but a fleeting wisp of a thing

in majesty of grace and swiftness of thought
even the mighty will eventually be caught
